Mine was around $500, all told - and none of that for fancy clothes. ($125 of
it was for the Harris County JP who did the honors, and most of the rest was
for the reception, and the rental of chairs for the audience - we had ours
outside by the pool, at the apartment complex we lived in back then. That
will be seventeen years ago, in August.)
